This tool is perhaps the last thing to try before a Windows reinstall.ĭirectX Happy Uninstall (DHU) certainly looks to be the most powerful tool for managing DirectX. It told us during install that our version of XP wasn’t compatible so it really doesn’t give Windows Vista or 7 users much of a hope! DirectX Buster is only supposed to be fully compatible with Windows 9X, ME and 2000 so its use is very limited. The author says the tool may also work on later DirectX versions such as DirectX 10 but we wouldn’t recommend trying it, just in case. Vista and 7 are NOT supported.ĭirectX Buster uninstalls DirectX from version 5 up to version 9.x without any problems. This tool works with Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/2003. It’s enabled by default in Windows but is worth checking just in case. You must be logged on as an Administrator or at least a member of the Administrators group for the program to run properly, and also the service “Cryptographic Services” must be running.
To rollback to the original DirectX, launch the shortcut, click Yes and enter your Windows installation disc.Ī couple of things worth noting the tool disables Windows File Protection by default so don’t use the program if you’re not comfortable with it doing this.
Upon reboot, you will notice a new icon named “DirectX Rollback Wizard” on the desktop. There is no interface for this utility, just a confirmation dialog.Įxtract the DirectX Eradicator archive, run dxerad.exe, click Yes when asked and reboot. It supports the full uninstall of DirectX from version 2.0 up to to version 9.0c, complete removal of all DirectX files and folders, full registry cleanup and CD rollback option. DirectX Eradicator is designed to safely remove the DirectX runtime core component from Windows.
